““Wow! I’ve seen a lot of boats in my time but this takes the cake. Your workmanship is just out of the world. It is hands down tops. It’s truly amazing to see work like this, keep up the good work.””

Courting Canoe

Each courting canoe we build is truly custom built and one of a kind. We build a full size 17 foot version with 30 to 60 inch long decks. We also offer a 12 foot display model.

Modeled after the famous courting canoes that were once built on the Charles River outside of Boston, Massachusetts, this canoe model is truly is an epitome of wooden canoes.

Ribs and planking are quarter sawn northern white cedar and western red cedar respectively. Close attention is paid to wood selection. All decking and trim material will come from the same tree and will be book matched which provides symmetry in wood grain and color tone.

Stem profile such as a torpedo stem, deck length, wood species for the trim, styles of seats and thwarts, monograms, stripping, gold leafing, outer stems and keel are just some of the options that can be chosen to put together that special one of a kind canoe.
